Sangria

Sangria is a classic summer cocktail that is easy to make, refreshing and yummy! This sangria cocktail recipe originated in Spain and requires fresh fruit, any type of wine (though red is traditional) and a little bit of time. Our classic sangria recipe serves two.

Bar supplies:

Pitcher

Measuring cup

Knife and cutting board

Large stirring spoon

Ice

Ingredient

Amount

Wine: red, white or rosé

1 bottle for 2 people

Brandy or orange liqueur

1/2 cup per bottle of wine

One citrus fruit, one non-citrus fruit

1 of each whole fruit

Soda

To taste

Preparation:

Cut fruit then mix it with the wine, brandy or orange liqueur (or combination of the two) into a pitcher.

Put the pitcher into the fridge for at least four hours – the longer the better (even overnight is fine).

Pour into a glass, include fruit if possible and enjoy. A Sangria can be served over ice as well.

A Twist:

You can combine different types of wine or just use one style. Adjust the use of brandy and orange liqueur (like a Cointreau) if you prefer the sangria to be sweeter or to have more of a bite. Also play with using different kinds of soda – regular soda water or Sprite or 7Up or even sparkling wine if you want carbonation in your drink.
